NL Reportedly Adding DH Starting This Season

Well we finally have some good news coming out of Major League Baseball. No, I'm not talking about how the Owners and Players may finally be working towards a return of the sport, I'm talking about how the NL may finally be adopting the Designated Hitter.
This is great news for those of us who want to see some entertaining baseball. The only ones who oppose this are the old school, steroid hating, stat watching, baseball purists. These guys have nothing better to do than to get mad anytime the MLB or the sport of baseball tries to make the game more fun and entertaining for a younger demographic.
Gone are the days where you'd have to sit through Brian Moehler at-bat with two outs and a runner on second. Now we get more David Ortizes, Frank Thomases and Edgar Martinezes.
This is what the fans want. And it's a good thing for the pitchers too. No one wants to see Clayton Kershaw pull a hamstring trying to race to first base after laying down a bunt. Let the pitchers do what they do best, pitch, and let the hitters do what they do best, smash home runs.
Baseball will be better for this.
If you want to see a pitcher actually hit some dingers, just watch this on repeat.
